/**
 * Denotes the default resolver for child resources.
 * 
 * The default implementation simply instantiates the class using one of the following constructors:
 * <ul>
 * 	<li><code><jk>public</jk> T(RestContextBuilder)</code>
 * 	<li><code><jk>public</jk> T()</code>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>
 * The former constructor can be used to get access to the {@link RestContextBuilder} object to get access to the
 * config file and initialization information or make programmatic modifications to the resource before
 * full initialization.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Child classes can also be defined as inner-classes of the parent resource class.
